The Double-Object Construction, Domain Asymmetries, And Linear Precedence, Donna Jo Napoli Jan 1992

The Double-Object Construction, Domain Asymmetries, And Linear Precedence, Donna Jo Napoli

Linguistics Faculty Works

The behavior of domain-sensitive phenomena in the double-object construction in English has been a topic of controversy. On the basis of this behavior and other facts about the double-object construction Larson (1988) offered an analysis of that construction in which the first object asymmetrically c-commands the second. Jackendoff (1990) responded, arguing both that the domain-phenomena facts do not necessitate the conclusion Larson has drawn and against other points of Larson's analysis.

Here I once more discuss domain phenomena in the double-object construction as well as in a handful of other constructions, concluding …

Recent discussions of predication with Government and Binding theory stress the configurational properties of the phrases involved, and Napoli argues that this has led to proposals for more and more elaborate syntactic structures that still fail to give genuinely explanatory accounts. She presents a convincing case for the idea of predicate as a semantic primitive that cannot be defined simply by looking at the lexicon or simply at semantic structure, and offers a theory of predication where the key to the subject-predicate relationship is theta role assignment. …
